Just... when did I do it? How embarassing and scary that I felt my hairs stood up! This information just blew my mind and my goal earlier disappeared momentarily.
I sense Astreia's gaze on me and there she was, smiling and said, "Swister... yu twold him yu wayk him at the pwalace."
I... Palace? When was it? Why don't I remember it? Aigoo... my head throbs again.
"It happened at Princess Allisa's 9th Birthday, last year. You probably forgot it since you did it on a whim."
It coincidentally matched with what I am thinking. But that smile and the tone of his says something dark. Well, it might be my imagination.
and Astreia was barely a year old by then! How could she know it? I looked around and saw the maids turned away. I see. It was the maids fault. Their blabbering mouth.
"You pestered Father everyday to see the prince..."
Sprinting towards my brother to cover that mouth of his. Curse this body and his height! I tip toed just to reach him!
"Are you embarassed right now?" it looks like my mother is enjoying this moment.
And I am not. I am planning how to avoid the prince and I forgot that moment where I want to tied with him. That is stupid. Normally the person transmigrated have its past life memories.
But in some books that I have read it takes time, and Im one of it. This is truly... nothing. Nevermind.
"But you are not embarrassed by the fact that y—" even though it was muffled it's still understandable that it is hard to ignore it.
"I was only three!"
Ha... this is ridiculous. No, no, No! I cannot accept this! Why the hell did the author give Wren a crappy idea like profess her puppy love when she's still a baby?! To the point that she wanted to be wed to that kid! The author is nuts. I should have left a bad review after all.
"This room is noisy." A chill run down to my spine. The voice is cold and his aura is so intense that I could feel it from behind.
A pair of purple eyes looked into me as if im a small herbivore... this is Carina's Husband, my father and at the same time, the current Duke, Mave Vacarella.
He is also known as the strongest knight. He has a beautiful appearance but because of how cold he treats the other nobles, they are afraid to approach him or the Duchy.
"I suppose you are well, child."
.....
.....
.....
"Father, you should be more affectionate towards your daughter."
My father coldly look at Caesar and dismiss what he said. He scoffed and said, "It is unsightly to faint then rolled on the stairs."
This is the first time I saw my father and this is what he says to me? Everyone in the room falls silent and he seems not bothered by it. In fact, he's staring at me like he's drilling a hole on my body.
Is he waiting for me to rebuke that? Because I have no intention to since he is right. It is unsightly.
"Mave, Prince Zairon will visit Wren." my mother said which made my father's face sour as he turned towards mom.
"... tsk, just when I declined his visit"
"That's the Prince, dear." my mother retorted as she sat down on my bed then asked, "Did you also decline their proposal?"
my father heaved a sigh as he glared at me before answering mom, "Yes, I even burned their letter"
He looked at me, right? There is no mistaking it. It must be about me. Mom even mentioned about proposal. Don't tell me they are really thinking of solidifying this engagement?
ah, Im losing my 5% charged energy. Ah, right. I should ask them.
"How long did I sleep?"
"5 days, Sister!" Astreia quickly answered me which made me loss for words.
It took me 5 days to remember my past life memories. Some of my memories were hazy and unrecognizable. Besides that, every time I remember some memories the pain in my head increased.
Then... the room was filled a loud growl, it was a hungry one all right. And it is mine. Stomach you should pick a better time to growl.
"I will order the maids to bring in some food." My father left the room and called for a maid outside.
"..."
"Get well." my brother said before giving me a pat on the head as he grab Astreia outside the room with mother following them.
"I will be back, Wren."
as soon as the door closed I plopped down on my bed and stared on the ceiling. No matter what I think this is absurd.
Wren knew the 3rd Prince since last year and I even confess according in the book. The Author must be bored to add these things in the plot. I mean, whose in the right mind will confess instantly.
Especially the author made it seem like the story is about fantasy romance genre. I never knew this was a tragedy. Talk about trap. Now I am truly regretting that I did not leave a bad review and curse.
Ah, I should write the things I remember in the book when I have free time.
"Wren," A voice called me from behind.
Holy, My family has good looks but this one also has a beautiful appearance. His light blue hair that shines more by the beams of sunlight, his eyes are like rubies.
"Pretty..." I covered my mouth as soon as I realized that I said it out loud.
How could I let myself get carried away by a boy?! Im a 19 year old (past life).
But, who is this? How can he come to my room without prior notice and he even called me in my name casually.
Ah, maybe one of my friends? Wait, Wren doesn't have friends according on the novel since she was she rarely attends social gatherings.
"It seems like you are fine."
He looked like a child of a noble... Or in a well-known family... oh, he has an emblem embedded on his cloak. That... that emblem hahaha... he has a lion emblem that only the Imperial Family has.
...
My eyes must be deceiving me, hahaha...
No.
urrkk! It's really the Imperial Family Emblem!
The Imperial Family only have one kid that has Ruby colored eyes and is said that is the 3rd Prince.
Zairon Sav de Beauvior, The 3rd Prince of Beauvior Empire. A son between the Emperor and a concubine. In the novel he was describe as manipulative and ruthless after his Mother died. Later on, he Killed the Crown Prince by Poisoning him.
There was no evidence that Zairon is the one killed his brother. That is why he was remove as suspect in the middle of the investigation. But, the nobles really believe that he killed his imperial highness.
That very person is now right in front of me in the form of kid.
I curtsied and did my best greeting him despite my wobbling legs, "Greeting, Your Imperial Highness, Prince Zairon"
Luckily, I did not stammer and my voice did not quiver. Hehe, though Im really hungry now.
I can feel a gaze right in front of me. I'm not wrong, those ruby eyes were staring before he looked away and sighed. That handsome boy is our Death Flag, self. Stop being mesmerized about his eyes.
"..."
Why is he not saying anything? Every second the clock ticks made it more awkward and I can't handle this atmosphere. Should I engage with a topic first? Nevermind that look had me to keep my mouth shut.
The door creaked, this made the prince walk away.
"I will be going." I raised my head in shock. I mean, is that it? Why do I sound disappointed?
"Yes...? Your Imperial Highness."
He looked at me for the last time before going out... Did I offend him by chance?
But, Caesar did say that the 3rd Prince will drop by to check on me. I didn't expect that it was literally drop by.
"I saw the 3rd Prince, did you two talk?" Mother asks as she laid down my food
"Yes, mother."
I eat before she could ask me anymore question. Because her eyes says she wants to ask me. Im sorry to disappoint her, I have nothing to tell her since I only gave a greeting at him.
---------------------------------------------------
The Book that I read in my past life is titled 'The Lost Star in the Sky'
The book starts with the heroine, Wren and the others at the Debutante ball. Zairon and Wren are partners at that time and when they dance. Zairon asked Wren to marry him. Of course Wren Accepted it. Instead of becoming a Crown Princess Candidate.
If you are asking me why are they having discussion whether to marry the two of us when Prince Zairon will ask my hand in marriage in the future. I also don't have that answer.
Then after 2 years, before Wren and Zairon's Wedding, the crown Prince died by poison, he died shortly. The wedding was pushed back because of it, then two weeks later a rebellion broke the empire's peace led by Prince Zairon.
The palace was raided and he beheaded the emperor. He also brutally murdered his oldest brother on the underground dungeon. Of course, he showed no mercy towards the only princess and the empress.
Though some speculated that he had accomplices by doing those acts, it was never admitted indirectly or directly. Maybe the author was lazy and forgotten that.
I have to make sure that this engagement will not be approved by then or he won't have sudden interest in me. He, after all will ask my hand... Ugh. No.
Wait, didn't his mother die at the novel when he was ten? If I find a way to not let his mother die will he leave me alone in the future?
Night falls before I knew it. I am so absorbed with writing my memories and plans that I didn't notice the time if Jemina told me it was dinner time.
Dinner. A week passed and it is alright for me to go out. But, there is one thing that I'm nervous about.
My mother's siblings are there and my father's twin sister are joining us for dinner. I already have a bad feeling about this since they are not mentioned much in the novel. Meaning to say I do not have a single idea about them or what kind of person they are.
